Jobs in Javascript

Your title says jobs in javascript, which may be hard to find. Better look for something on the server side, like PHP, .net etc. Most small companies do only basic javascript which will most likely be more of copy paste work. Even biggies that deal on Ajax, may look for more than just javascript experience.

I dont know the exact situation is US, but you may have to live in a big city yo have access to IT companies like accenture, IBM etc. to make it big in IT. Most small IT companies won;t give you any experince in million$ projects, you will end up doing small sites and getting avergae salaries.
